## Detailed Description

### template<class ARITHTYPE>
class vigra::Kernel1D< ARITHTYPE >

Generic 1 dimensional convolution kernel.

This kernel may be used for convolution of 1 dimensional signals or for separable convolution of multidimensional signals.

Convlution functions access the kernel via a 1 dimensional random access iterator which they get by calling center(). This iterator points to the center of the kernel. The kernel's size is given by its left() (<=0) and right() (>= 0) methods. The desired border treatment mode is returned by borderTreatment().

The different init functions create a kernel with the specified properties. The kernel's value_type must be a linear space, i.e. it must define multiplication with doubles and NumericTraits.

The kernel defines a factory function kernel1d() to create an argument object (see Kernel Argument Object Factories).

Usage:

#include <vigra/stdconvolution.hxx>

        vigra::FImage src(w,h), dest(w,h);
        ...

        // define Gaussian kernel with std. deviation 3.0
        vigra::Kernel1D kernel;
        kernel.initGaussian(3.0);

        vigra::separableConvolveX(srcImageRange(src), destImage(dest), kernel1d(kernel));

Required Interface:

        value_type v = vigra::NumericTraits<value_type>::one(); // if norm is not
                                                                // given explicitly
        double d;

        v = d * v;

Examples:

  pyramid.cxx, and smooth.cxx.

BorderTreatmentMode borderTreatment | ( |  | ) | const

current border treatment mode

iterator center | ( |  | ) |

Postconditions:

                center()[left()] ... center()[right()] are valid kernel positions

void initAveraging | ( | int | radius | ) |

Init as an Averaging filter with norm 1.

void initAveraging | ( | int | radius,
|  | value_type | norm |
| ) |  |  |

Init as an Averaging filter. 'norm' denotes the sum of all bins of the kernel. The window size is (2*radius+1) * (2*radius+1)

Precondition:

                radius   >= 0

Postconditions:

                1. left()  == -radius
                2. right() ==  radius
                3. borderTreatment() == BORDER_TREATMENT_CLIP
                4. norm() == norm

void initBinomial | ( | int | radius | ) |

Init as a Binomial filter with norm 1.

void initBinomial | ( | int | radius,
|  | value_type | norm |
| ) |  |  |

Init as a Binomial filter. 'norm' denotes the sum of all bins of the kernel.

Precondition:

                radius   >= 0

Postconditions:

                1. left()  == -radius
                2. right() ==  radius
                3. borderTreatment() == BORDER_TREATMENT_REFLECT
                4. norm() == norm

void initBurtFilter | ( | double | a = `0.04785` | ) |

Init a 5-tap filter as defined by Peter Burt in the context of pyramid creation. The filter values are

                [a, 0.25, 0.5-2*a, 0.25, a]

The default `a = 0.04785` is optimal in the sense that it minimizes the difference to a true Gaussian filter (which would have sigma = 0.975). For other values of `a`, the scale of the most similar Gaussian can be approximated by

                sigma = 5.1 * a + 0.731

Preconditions:

                0 <= a <= 0.125

Postconditions:

                1. left()  == -2
                2. right() ==  2
                3. borderTreatment() == BORDER_TREATMENT_REFLECT
                4. norm() == 1.0

void initDiscreteGaussian | ( | double | std_dev | ) |

Init as a Lindeberg's discrete analog of the Gaussian function with norm 1.

void initDiscreteGaussian | ( | double | std_dev,
|  | value_type | norm |
| ) |  |  |

Init as Lindeberg's discrete analog of the Gaussian function. The radius of the kernel is always 3*std_dev. 'norm' denotes the sum of all bins of the kernel.

Precondition:

                std_dev >= 0.0

Postconditions:

                1. left()  == -(int)(3.0*std_dev + 0.5)
                2. right() ==  (int)(3.0*std_dev + 0.5)
                3. borderTreatment() == BORDER_TREATMENT_REFLECT
                4. norm() == norm

Kernel1D& initExplicitly | ( | int | left,
|  | int | right |
| ) |  |  |

Init the kernel by an explicit initializer list. The left and right boundaries of the kernel must be passed. A comma-separated initializer list is given after the assignment operator. This function is used like this:

                // define horizontal Roberts filter
                vigra::Kernel1D<float> roberts_gradient_x;

                roberts_gradient_x.initExplicitly(0, 1) = 1.0, -1.0;

The norm is set to the sum of the initialzer values. If the wrong number of values is given, a run-time error results. It is, however, possible to give just one initializer. This creates an averaging filter with the given constant:

                vigra::Kernel1D<float> average5x1;

                average5x1.initExplicitly(-2, 2) = 1.0/5.0;

Here, the norm is set to value*size().

Preconditions:

                1. left <= 0
                2. right >= 0
                3. the number of values in the initializer list
                   is 1 or equals the size of the kernel.

void initGaussian | ( | double | std_dev | ) |

Init as a Gaussian function with norm 1.

void initGaussian | ( | double | std_dev,
|  | value_type | norm |
| ) |  |  |

Init as a sampled Gaussian function. The radius of the kernel is always 3*std_dev. '`norm`' denotes the sum of all bins of the kernel (i.e. the kernel is corrected for the normalization error introduced by windowing the Gaussian to a finite interval). However, if `norm` is 0.0, the kernel is normalized to 1 by the analytic expression for the Gaussian, and no correction for the windowing error is performed.

Precondition:

                std_dev >= 0.0

Postconditions:

                1. left()  == -(int)(3.0*std_dev + 0.5)
                2. right() ==  (int)(3.0*std_dev + 0.5)
                3. borderTreatment() == BORDER_TREATMENT_REFLECT
                4. norm() == norm

void initGaussianDerivative | ( | double | std_dev,
|  | int | order |
| ) |  |  |

Init as a Gaussian derivative with norm 1.

void initGaussianDerivative | ( | double | std_dev,
|  | int | order,
|  | value_type | norm |
| ) |  |  |

Init as a Gaussian derivative of order '`order`'. The radius of the kernel is always `3*std_dev + 0.5*order`. '`norm`' denotes the norm of the kernel so that the following condition is fulfilled:

Thus, the kernel will be corrected for the error introduced by windowing the Gaussian to a finite interval. However, if `norm` is 0.0, the kernel is normalized to 1 by the analytic expression for the Gaussian derivative, and no correction for the windowing error is performed.

Preconditions:

                1. std_dev >= 0.0
                2. order   >= 1

Postconditions:

                1. left()  == -(int)(3.0*std_dev + 0.5*order + 0.5)
                2. right() ==  (int)(3.0*std_dev + 0.5*order + 0.5)
                3. borderTreatment() == BORDER_TREATMENT_REFLECT
                4. norm() == norm

void initOptimalFirstDerivative5 | ( |  | ) |

Init an optimal 5-tap first derivative filter. This filter must be used in conjunction with the corresponding 5-tap smoothing filter (see initOptimalFirstDerivativeSmoothing5()), such that the derivative filter is applied along one dimension, and the smoothing filter along the other. The filter values are

                [0.1, 0.3, 0.0, -0.3, -0.1]

These values are optimal in the sense that the 5x5 filter obtained by combining this filter with the corresponding 5-tap smoothing filter is the best possible 5x5 approximation to a Gaussian first derivative filter. The equivalent Gaussian has sigma = 0.906.

                1. left()  == -2
                2. right() ==  2
                3. borderTreatment() == BORDER_TREATMENT_REFLECT

void initOptimalFirstDerivativeSmoothing3 | ( |  | ) |
